As early as 2021, some people saw a different path: instead of relying on external plugins like browser extensions, why not make social media itself an on-chain operation panel.

This idea is very clear—building on-chain command codes around # tags and $ symbols, so that every action a user takes on social platforms can be directly mapped to on-chain instructions. In other words, social media is not only a place for information dissemination but also potentially the first wallet and first exchange for Web3 users.

From the latest developments, it seems that mainstream social platforms are also exploring in this direction. This concept is gradually becoming a reality, and the combination of tag economy and on-chain operations may open a new gateway for the migration from Web2 to Web3.

From a technical architecture perspective, this #tag$ symbol mapping scheme is indeed clever, but I have to pour some cold water— the real challenge lies in permission isolation and atomicity guarantees, which cannot be achieved solely through social platform APIs.

Hmm... wait, I need to trace this logical chain. Do #tags and $ symbols directly map to on-chain instructions? The fund flow behind this needs to be carefully examined. Social media turning into wallets turning into exchanges... It's obvious that mainstream platforms are testing not only technology but also data access rights and fee rights, a typical transfer of fund control points. Did someone notice this as early as 2021? After analysis and assessment, what are these addresses doing now? We need to track the wallet behaviors of early participants.

Damn, that's a brilliant idea. Social media directly becomes an exchange—liking is buying coins?

Using social media to create a wallet? Sounds pretty crazy, but it seems like there's actually something to it.

Haha, finally someone dares to say this. Social media itself should be an exchange. Wait, isn't this exactly what dApps should be doing? Why rely on platforms again? Sounds nice, but isn't it about who can implement it first? Right now, it's all just concepts. Can this wave really break through the圈? I'm still not too convinced.
